There be no one and nothing from worm to stone
that can stop itself from lifting to Heaven
i say this not because my mother teach me
but because i know it in my … soul? before
she tell me in words i recognise at once
and hold still in my heart as my gift from God
that grace? – which He grant through my goodest mother
who speak not many words – is sign of it Source
and no senhor – i be not superstitious
but just pessoa who still know how to know
without to need no certificate of proof
from Science or blessing-words from O Papa
(from Limboa , a sentimental anthem
by Brian Chan, 2023)
